Lossless vs Lossy.mov

An attempt to compare lossless vs lossy audio. 20 seconds of each, for about 2 minutes, then lossless for the remainder of the song.

(Video is compressed(H.264) but Audio is Full PCM (16bit/44Khz) Formats compared are Apple Lossless versus MP3 encoded at 128Kbps. Encoded from the Eagles - Hell Freezes Over Live Album using iTunes 10.1.1, iMove ' 09 and Garage Band '09.)

noname4422, copy/save the video and verify that. because Youtube gave me the option to upload 16bit/44khz 1.4kbps WAV file. The video is compressed though.

audio is disabled! copyright notice! pointless video now, take down!

Definitely lots of difference to hear here, though it'd be interesting to see how that difference shrinks with something like 320k mp3, or other codecs like AAC at high bitrates.

@noname4422

I saw this same comment posted on other lossless videos (i think it was Iron Maiden)

The point of this video isnt to show true lossles,just compare something that was lossless to something that was lossy :\

In any case,The lossy lossless is still better than the lossy lossy...(tongue twister)

[noname4422]

There is one problem, youtube applies lossy compression when you upload, so the lossless isn't really lossless.

You've converted me ....

Lossy isn't enough.

Its not the headphones or speakers i listen on...its what i'm listening to =.=

Thanks for leaving it on losless at the halfway mark :)
